I have always been a fan of Fisheye and Ultrawide lenses, right back to my film days, the first Fisheye lens I owned was a Sigma 15mm, all manual, all metal beauty that I still own (although I don’t use it anymore, it’s just a paperweight). So with the move to digital this was an area of creativity that I was sorely missing. I purchased a wide angle zoom, 17-40mm for my full frame body which was great for landscapes but I needed wider, I needed Fisheye.

Saturday, August 31st, 2013A Photographic Opportunity
Sunday, August 11th, 2013I was at a loose end on Sunday (11th Aug) and found myself driving North, after 2 ½ hours I ended up at Spurn Point at 11:00am, not the best time to be there I’m sure you will agree.
Spurn has always been one of my favourite places, its just so weird and there is nowhere else like it (a bit like Dungeness is different to everywhere else as well). You can do tidal stuff, groynes, lighthouses, birds, people, the list goes on and on.
Photographer’s Library : Sebastiao Salgado GENESIS
Thursday, August 8th, 2013I remember the first time I saw one of the Salgado’s most famous pictures. I was amazed. It was one from The Workers project where man is trying to stop leaking oil setting on fire. Since then I was hooked and became a huge fan of Salgado’s work.
